The million-copy bestseller, A Little Life, is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel exploring brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.

Four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York, navigating their ambitions and friendships. Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a witty yet sometimes cruel painter; Malcolm, a frustrated architect; and Jude, the group’s brilliant but enigmatic center of gravity.

As their lives unfold over decades, their relationships evolve—marked by addiction, success, and pride. Yet, their greatest challenge remains Jude, now a brilliant litigator but deeply haunted by an unspeakable past. His trauma threatens to define his life, testing the bonds of love and friendship.
